Depending on the person in the front-

passenger seat, the front-passenger front air

bag must either be disabled or enabled; see

the following points. You must make sure of

this both before and during a journey.

Children in a child restraint system:

whether the front-passenger front air bag is

enabled or deactivated depends on the

installed child restraint system, and the age

and size of the child. Therefore, be sure to

observe the notes on the "Occupant Clas-

sification System (OCS)" (Y page 52) and

on "Children in the vehicle" (Y page 62).

There you will also find instructions on rear-

ward and forward-facing child restraint sys-

tems on the front-passenger seat.

All other persons: depending on the clas-

sification of the person in the front-

passenger seat, the front-passenger front

air bag is enabled or deactivated

(Y page 52). Be sure to observe the notes

on "Seat belts“ (Y page 44) and "Air bags"

(Y page 48). There you can also find infor-

mation on the correct seat position.

Seat belts

Introduction

Seat belts are the most effective means of

restricting the movement of vehicle occu-

pants in the event of an accident or the vehi-

cle rolling over. This reduces the risk of vehi-

cle occupants coming into contact with parts

of the vehicle interior or being ejected from

the vehicle. Furthermore, the seat belt helps

to keep the vehicle occupant in the best posi-

tion in relation to the air bag.

The seat belt system comprises:

Seat belts

Emergency Tensioning Devices for the

front seat belts and the outer seat belts in

the rear

Seat belt force limiters for the front seat

belts and the outer seat belts in the rear

If the seat belt is pulled out of the belt outlet

quickly or with a jerky movement, the belt

retractor locks. The belt strap cannot be

extracted any further.

The Emergency Tensioning Device tightens

the seat belt in an accident, pulling the belt

close against the body. However it does not

pull the vehicle occupant back in the direction

of the backrest.

The Emergency Tensioning Device does not

correct an incorrect seat position or the rout-

ing of an incorrectly fastened seat belt.

When triggered, seat belt force limiters help

to reduce the force exerted by the seat belt on

the vehicle occupant.

The seat belt force limiters for the front seats

are synchronized with the front air bags,

which absorb part of the deceleration force.

This can reduce the force exerted on the vehi-

cle occupants during an accident.

If the front-passenger seat is unoccupied,

do not insert the belt tongue into the buckle

of the front-passenger seat. This may oth-

erwise lead to the triggering of the Emer-

gency Tensioning Device in the event of an

accident, which will then need to be

replaced.

Important safety notes

The use of seat belts and child restraint sys-

tems is required by law in:

all 50 states

the U.S. territories

the District of Columbia

all Canadian provinces

Even where this is not required by law, all

vehicle occupants should correctly fasten

their seat belts before starting the journey.

WARNING

If the seat belt is incorrectly fastened, it can-

not protect as intended. Furthermore, an

incorrectly fastened seat belt can cause addi-

tional injury, for example, in an accident, dur-

ing braking or when abruptly changing direc-
